"i think we're all built to breathe
to laugh and to smile and to wait
for the sun with hope we know
we have no right to feel"

he said.

"i think we're made to smoke and
to drink and to paint ourselves with
foundation lies and lipstick curses
and eyelashes masquerading as
spider legs"

he said.

"i think God made us in His own image
and when He saw Himself in us He wished
He had never made Eve from Adam's rib
and He abandoned us and He ran away"

he said, and it was at this point that I knew
he was nothing more than a figment of my
imagination for he flickered like a dying candle

"and in abandoning His creation
He made me realise how difficult
it is to be a father"
